Film Courage:  Blayne your new movie that is coming out is CUT TO THE CHASE.  And I just wanted to quickly talk about how you previously had three movies coming out that you also wrote, directed, and starred in and those were OUTSIDE SALES, WEATHER GIRL and 6 MONTH RULE.  Those were romantic comedies.  So now why the change in genre to action/crime?

Blayne Weaver:  Yeah, you know my last three films were romantic comedies and a lot of that reasoning is just budgetary. My first movie was $80,000.  The WEATHER GIRL was under half a million and then 6 MONTH RULE was a million dollars.  And slowly growing in budget, but always being a small-budget movie basically because I didn’t think I could do anything else because it’s way easier to shoot a kiss than to shoot an explosion.  I just thought that was my only option.  Like I could do a family drama or something but no action, no thriller and then I had this experience with filmmaker Paul Osborne making FAVOR movie, which I starred in with actor Patrick Day (watch the video on Youtube here).
